THE VERDICT!!!!!

Somebody explain to me why numbering those sets cost money?! Funnily enough, the price of Selects has gone up since they stopped numbering them. That's because each set becomes first among equals.

Maybe they could sell the numbers separately? That would be great, 'cause the numbers take up a lot less shelf space.

Somebody's been cutting class. Huh? I'm not disagreeing with you... but the second part of my quote (which you deleted) was the relevant part. I know--I just thought you missed my post where I definitively, unambiguously, and authoritatively resolved the issue of whether the big boxes are numbered at time of shipment, as only I am qualified to do. <-----(it's a joke)

You just saved me the embarrassment of starting a thread called "How come my Boooby Hutcherson and Tony Williams Selects aren't numbered?" If I were you, I'd send them back to Mosaic and INSIST that they be numbered.

BOTTOM LINE: BIG SETS = shipped in numerical order (and hand numbered at time of shipment) SELECTS = NOT shipped in numerical order (and prenumbered by machine on the first 20 or so in the series, and NOT numbered at all for the more recent Selects) OK, any questions? And yes, this WILL be on the exam.

Copyright date on the Roach set is 2000. Copyright date on the Mobley set is 1998. I bet that one times out next year. Wow - was the Roach really out back in 2000? My mind is playing tricks, thought it was more recent than that. The Max Roach box was introduced in the Fall 2000 brochure from Mosaic! Guy probably has every Mosaic catalog since the beginning committed to memory.

IIRC, Byrd/Adams did time out, as did Elvin Jones, and certainly other BN sets.
